SCENE 01 / CGI 3D ANIMATION
CGI & 3D Animation
Cutting-edge computer-generated imagery and 3D animation that brings imagination to life with photorealistic quality.
CGI and 3D animation create photorealistic or stylized digital imagery through computer modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering. These techniques produce everything from subtle environmental extensions to fully animated characters and worlds, expanding a production's visual scope beyond the limits of practical filmmaking.
We connect you with CGI and 3D animation studios capable of delivering the quality and volume your project requires. Our team coordinates creative briefings, asset reviews, and technical pipelines to ensure your CG elements match your production's visual standards and integrate seamlessly with live-action plates.

CGI and 3D animation pipelines in France
Here is how this works in practice. France hosts some of Europe's most celebrated CGI talent. With houses like Mac Guff, BUF Compagnie, Mikros Image, and the Digital Factory operating across Paris and the Île-de-The country corridor. Our 3D pipeline brings together asset artists working in Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, ZBrush, and Blender, with rendering handled on Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, or Unreal Engine for real-time scenarios. Character rigs, facial blendshapes, motion-capture cleanup from Mocap studios in Angoulême and Annecy, and full-CG environments are assembled inside a structured pipeline that can scale from a single product visualization to a feature-length animation slate.
Here is the short of it. Photoreal output is built on physically-based shading in Substance Painter and Mari. With reference photography matched on a calibrated DCI-P3 monitor so the CG plate sits convincingly inside the live-action photography. ACES color running runs from start to finish, making sure grades carried out at Eclair or Saint-Cloud receive CG renders that integrate without surprises.
Whether your project needs a single hero asset for a Cannes commercial, a fully animated short for Annecy, or a slate of episodic VFX shots for a streamer, you receive deliverables in ProRes 4444 XQ or EXR layers, ordered with the AOV passes and metadata your compositor needs to finish the shot.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What 3D software do you use?
We work with industry-standard software including Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, and Blender. For rendering, we use Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, and real-time engines like Unreal. We select tools based on project requirements and can integrate with your existing pipeline.
Can you create photorealistic CGI?
Yes, achieving photorealistic results is one of our specialties. We use physically-based rendering, detailed texturing with tools like Substance Painter, accurate lighting simulation, and careful attention to real-world reference to create CGI that's indistinguishable from photography.
Do you handle character animation?
We provide full character animation services including rigging, motion capture cleanup, keyframe animation, and facial animation. Our animators bring characters to life with believable movement and emotional performance, whether stylized or realistic.
What's your typical production timeline?
Timelines vary significantly based on complexity. A simple product visualization might take days, while a complex character or environment could take weeks or months. We'll provide detailed schedules during bidding and maintain clear communication throughout production.
